Vegan Food During My Flight

December 27, 2025 by fatgayvegan

HUGE shock around FGV headquarters this week.

I missed a day of blogging!

Yes it’s a let down because I pledged to blog every single day, but I do have a solid reason. I just spent more than a day traveling from Brisbane, Australia to London, United Kingdom.

It was an intense journey that started with me arriving at Brisbane airport four hours before my flight, followed by the 8+ hour flight to Hong Kong, an hour and a half layover, then a fourteen and a bit hour flight from Hong Kong to Heathrow.

Don’t forget the fact that the Elizabeth Line was out of service which meant a few Tube lines to get home. When I approached a TFL staff member at Heathrow to ask why the Elizabeth Line was down, they simply replied, “Boxing Day, innit”. Perfect welcome back home to the UK! Hahahaha.

Add all the flying, training, and waiting around and I’m pretty sure I was in transit for more than 30 hours.

But you didn’t just come here to listen to me complain. You want to see what vegan food I was served during my two flights, right?

Vegan food with BA

I know you all love posts about airplane food, so I’m sorry I’ve taken more than a week to share these photos.

Josh and I recently travelled between London Heathrow and Mexico City with British Airways. The food on BA can be hit or miss, but we were pleasantly surprised by the two vegan meals offered on this journey.

The first meal consisted of mushroom ragout with barley risotto. Barley! Who has ever been served barley on a plane?! The side was a tasty bean salad, plus we received soya milk and vegan margarine.
